Maria Putholf says she's tried many desperate measures to keep the deer out of the garden; including human hair and deer repellant. But now she's put a fence around the garden and added blaze orange tape on top to try and scare the deer away.

"Tried tons of different things to get them away from it, nothing you can really do," Putholf said.

The city wants to know how the public feels about the possibility of thinning the herd by shooting some of them with high-powered rifles.

"I'm kind of on the fence about that, I'm pro for them, but yet they are getting a little out of control, sometimes you'll get packs of ten of them up here within the yard and eating stuff, makes me a little nervous shooting them around here," Putholf said.

Bob Obele who lives across the street feels differently.

"We love to see the deer, we have seven little ones running around and with three does with twins and a doe with triplets, they get into everything; flowers, tomatoes, and vegetables," Obele said.

That's why he's not opposed to shooting some of the deer.

"I'd just soon see them moved out into the country, but if they have to shoot a doe here and there, I guess that would be alright," Obele said.
